Fox’s online map is damned peculiar, if you ask me. They’ve called a number of states for either McCain or Obama, but if you hover your mouse over various states (like Florida), they’ll have one candidate over another with a large percentage, and show the votes counted so far, but in the many of the states that they’re calling for one candidate or another, they’ll have no votes as being counted.
MSNBC just called PA for Obama!
MSNBC just called Penn for Obama! NJ to Obama! MA to Obama! McCain in TN, OK for McCain.
Woo hoo!
Go New Hampshire!
CNN still has PA “on the fence” right now.
ETA: So that states that have “0% reporting” but they are calling for one candidate or the other, is this based on overwhelming exit polls, results from past years, a combination?
why is south carolina blue in the kos map?
i thought it had been called for mcain
Was anyone really expecting Obama not to win PA? Seriously? Florida’s the one I’m watching right now.
I see NBC has called Pennsylvania for Obama.
w00t
CNN is calling a lot of states right now with 0% of precincts reporting. I remember this happened 4 years ago, too. What is their reasoning?

No, it wasn’t meant to be. I just figured you were having a brain fart. It was blue when I looked at that map after your previous post.
No mention of Rhode Island?
Thank god for yankee new englanders–it’s good to see the blue on the map. Holding on to that… still nervous.
Heh. CNN.com has called SC for McCain … with Obama leading 55% to 44%.
The vote numbers look really good for Obama in Florida, according to MSNBC.
Well, it’s 8pm EST and many polls in the eastern half if the U.S. are closing. We should have some solid results soon. Right now, McCain looks to win Kentucky and leads in Indiana, but not by much. Obama has a slightly stronger lead in Florida, and for some reason they’ve called Vermont for him though only 1,000 votes have been cast there.
It’s 8am here, and I’ve been up since 6:30 just trying to keep calm.
Maybe exit polls?
Why did they call PA for Obama? By what logic?
No worries–I probably missed it. It’s BLUE now, baby! that’s what matters.
Rachel Maddow is a downer. God, does she have anything positive to say?
Gah! I hope not!

What up with North Carolina? Not that I’m complaining, but it looks like if someone switched Virginia with North Carolina.
Kos has OHIO BLUE!? Oh, please be true…
Fox has Ohio 66% to 32% Obama McCain. I guess the 1% went for Ron Paul or Bob Barr.
